14
Using The Hob
The hob is equipped with four sealed hotplates, one of which is a rapid boil plate, indicated by a red mark. The plates are controlled by a 7 - position switch (5). Switch on the plates by turning the knob to the required position.
Use of Hotplates
Each control can be used to select one of six temperature settings from a minimum at position 1 to a maximum at position 6. For normal cooking, after having placed the pan on the required hob position, set the control knob to maximum (6); wait until boiling point is reached, then set the knob to a lower position as required. Red spot plates give faster boiling times. (See chart below for guide to control settings.)
Control Settings Guide
This table is provided only as a guide – settings also depend on the type of pan used and the quantity of food.
Knob Position Type of Food

15
Using The Hob – General Notes
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING
IMPORTANT – As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking utensils containing oil must not be left unattended on or in close proximity to the cooking zones. To minimize the risks inherent with deep fat frying, we recommend the following:
Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.
Never fill the pan more than one-third full of fat or oil.
Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.
Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food.
This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy
food.
Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat.
Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added too quickly.
Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
Keep the outside of the pan, clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire
1. Switch Off the hotplate.
2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.
3. Leave the pan to cool for at least 60 minutes before moving.
Choosing your utensils
For best results we recommend the use of good quality saucepans with smooth flat bases. Aluminium pans with coloured vitreous enamelled bases absorb heat and are therefore more efficient in use. Almost equally as good are saucepans with a thick machined aluminium base. If using enamelled steel or cast iron pans, ensure that they have good smooth flat bases as otherwise the heat will not be distributed evenly and damaging heat spots may be created. Never use recessed or ridged base utensils. Ideally the base of saucepan should be approximately the same size as the heating area, up to a maximum of 254mm (10").
16
Using The Hob – General Notes
Remember…
1. Purchasing a new pan will not
necessarily mean it will have a flat base, always check before buying.
2. Using the correct pans and utensils
will result in maximum contact with the hob and maximum efficiency as with any type of electric hob.
17
Grilling
WARNING:
DURING USE THE APPLIANCE BECOMES HOT. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID TOUCHING HEATING ELEMENTS INSIDE THE OVEN.
IMPORTANT!
GRILLING MUST ALWAYS BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE OVEN DOOR CLOSED
NEVER allow young children near the appliance when the grill is in use as the surfaces get extremely hot.
DO NOT LINE THE GRILL PAN WITH ALUMINIUM FOIL.
GRILLING (1850 W)
Turn the top oven/grill function selector (2) to the symbol, and turn the thermostat (1) to 250º to preheat, before reducing to desired cooking temperature. The complete top element will come on and radiate heat directly onto the food. Allow the grill to preheat for approximately 5 minutes before starting to cook.
When grilling, the shelf is placed in either the first or second runner position from the top. The grill pan is placed centrally on the shelf, beneath the grill element.
Leave the control at 250º for toast, and for sealing and fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the thermostat to a lower setting after the initial sealing on both sides at 250º. The thicker the food, the lower the control should be set.
Food which requires browning only should be placed under the hot grill on the second runner from the top.
After use, always return controls to their off positions
18
Using The Oven
The oven is controlled by first selecting a cooking function with the function selector knob (2) then turning the thermostat (1) to the required temperature. When operated an indicator light (3) will immediately come On, and will go out when the desired temperature is reached, subsequently switching On and Off at intervals to indicate that the correct temperature is being maintained.
Function Description
Upper and lower heat
Upper and lower heat selects both the upper and lower elements and is used to keep the whole oven at a uniform temperature.
Lower heat only
Lower heat only selects the bottom element. This option is used for browning the bottom of food i.e. pizzas, and is also suitable for casseroles and cook-in sauces
Upper heat only
Upper heat only selects the upper element. This option is used for browning the top of food.
Main Oven Cookery Notes
The charts included in this booklet are intended to be a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures. If large quantities are being cooked it will be necessary to increase the cooking time somewhat to compensate for the extra oven load. It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened, this will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.
Oven Utensils
To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390 x 300mm (15ins x 12ins) and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm (13ins x 10ins), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf. Food or cooking utensils should not be placed on the floor of the oven.
19
Using The Oven
To prepare Meat and Poultry for Roasting in your Oven
(a) Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well and weigh it. Meat which has for been stored
in a refrigerator should be allowed to come to room temperature before cooking, and frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before placing in the oven.
(b) The weight of any stuffing used should be added before calculating the cooking
time.
(c) Place meat/poultry in a meat pan of a suitable size. Small joints weighing less
than 1.75kg (31/2 lbs) should be roasted in a smaller meat pan/tin – or they may be ‘pot roasted’ – a small joint or a large meat pan causes unnecessary oven splashing and evaporation of meat juices.
(d) Additional fat should not be added, except for veal, very lean meat or poultry
which can either be ‘larded’ with fat bacon or brushed very sparingly with cooking oil or melted fat.
(e) Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted lightly with seasoned flour to
give a crisp outer surface. The skin of duck and goose should be pricked to release excess fat during cooking, and the rind of pork should be scored, brushed lightly with oil, and rubbed with salt to give crisp crackling.
(f) Meat and poultry wrapped in, or covered with a tent of aluminium foil will be
juicy and tender. Roasting bags offer the same advantages. Always follow the manufacturer’s pack instructions.
(g) Potatoes for roasting only require to be brushed with cooking oil or melted fat.
Frozen Meat and Poultry
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a domestic refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per 450g, 1 lb), or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per 450g, 1 lb). Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before placing in the oven. It is
essential to wash thoroughly and cook meat and poultry immediately after
defrosting.
Always allow oven to preheat prior to use. For conventional mode (top and base heat) allow 15 minutes, and 20 minutes for base heat only and top heat only.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
In the interests of both safety and hygiene your Belling electric cooker needs to be kept clean. A build-up of grease or fat from cooking could cause a fire hazard.
WARNING! For your own safety, always switch off your cooker at the mains supply and allow to cool before cleaning. Never use excessive amounts of water to clean your cooker, and remember that your cooker is heavy – take care when pulling it out for access.
The Hob
Clean the hob surround with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water. Stubborn stains can be removed with a cream, paste or liquid cleaner, or by gently rubbing with liberally soaped, very fine steel wool pad. The sealed hotplates may be cleaned using a soap filled pad following the grain of the hotplate. This will ensure that any stubborn, burnt on spillages are removed. Wipe over with a damp clean cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been removed.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, dry the hotplates thoroughly by switching on to a low setting for a few minutes, then smear with a little cooking oil to provide a protective coating. Belling Sealed Hotplate Conditioner is available from our spares department on 01709 579907 quoting part number BELLING026.
The stainless steel hotplate trim will discolour during normal use and can be cleaned using a cream cleaner or a stainless steel cleaner.
The Oven
The oven should be cleaned after each use to remove cooking residuals and grease which, if burnt on when the oven is used again, will form deposits or stains, as well as unpleasant smells. Do not leave vinegar, coffee, milk, salty water or the juice of lemon or tomato on enamelled surfaces for any length of time. Always wash the accessories used.
The rod shelf and food support grid can be cleaned using household cream cleanser with a nylon pad or sponge. Heavier soiling may require the use of a proprietary oven cleaner or steel wool pad, but do not allow these to contact the door seals or plastic parts of the cooker.
Only use oven cleaners which carry the Vitreous Enamel Development Council's Approvals symbol, and always follow the manufacturers instructions for use. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damages caused by incorrect cleaning. . Belling Oven Cleaner is available from our spares department on 01709 579907 quoting part number BELLING030.
22
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
